Hello all,
I am planning to travel to Cuba on the first week of March 2010 at the institute called Placental Histotherapy Center, Havana. Here is the link of the institute:
http://www.histoterapia-placentaria.cu/clinicai.htm
I have had researched extensively about the use of Melagenina Plus and after reading books on it, the one I would highly recommend is "Drugs for Vitiligo" by Dr. JS Pasricha and here is the link of the google books:
http://books.google.com/books?id=c5SPySYNJ5YC&printsec=frontcover&dq=drugs+for+vitiligo&client=firefox-a&cd=1#v=onepage&q=&f=false
I heartily thanks to the member of this forum "angelicpte" for bringing this book to light and who is under vitiligo treatment by the author of this book. Thanks "angelicpte" for keeping us updated..
For the institute, if I have found two very strong and honest persons one is the forum member "isara" and an activist Sarojini Ariyanayagam who started London Vitiligo Society in her country which now become a global support group. Her interview is up on BBC website and she is now a US citizen. Here is the link of her interview:

Another important piece is Dr. Miyares Cao, who invented Melagenina is based at this center and his reference is cited in the book "Drugs for Vitiligo" by Dr. JS Pasricha.
I would be traveling to the institute in the first week of March (spring break time of the college) and would want to meet Dr. Miyares Cao. If anyone want to tag along, we could make a small group, save on costs and potential harassment. If interested, please reply back to the post.
